Activism: The Guardian - Free Speech in Hong Kong: Christina Chan 陳巧文

[DANIK42095]

FUCK! CHINAMEN EVERYWHERE!

[Balencian]

Most authentic hongkongers disliked Chinese from the Mainland. Many were immigrants trying to escape CCP's persecution decades ago, hence, many were sympathetic to Tibetan cause (most never viewed CCP as a legitimate gov). If people look into this issue closer, you will notice people who complain about Christina Chen's behavior are mainland Chinese pretending to be Hong Kong Chinese (or new immigrants to HK). So please ignore those "fake hkers" who claim we are part of china.

She's hot man. HK Police are pussies anyway.  They can't do shit.

[Balencian]

@666demonknight666

Hk police are actually quite competent and kinda got stuck in all these political mess. Please bare in mind, if HK government don't take actions, CCP in Beijing will take action and restrict even more freedom of speech in HK. But plz keep in mind, those so called "Hkers (other than the police)" in the video who attacked the girl are speaking mandarin...(Hkers speak Cantonese). The population in Hk is generally supportive of a Free Tibet.

Great U gal rock freedom

I salute to you Christina Chan

[Tendagami]

Chinese are such a stupid.

[LouisC89]

Is it unrealistic expectation for Western media not to be subjective?

[britainmal]

The Hong Kong police should have arrested the Pro-China protesters for attacking her. Wake UP cassandraw

[PakistaniisPower]

In prison Mainlanders and Hong Kongers are always fighting

[cassandraw]

the police was unreasonable

btw, christina's eng is really gd!

[LouisC89]

@cassandraw

[Ganeschar]

How to go china, they refuse to give Visa .

[messihardaway35]

she is my idol! support democracy！

Support Christina!

[m00nracer]

She is as heroic and as brave as the "unknown Rebel" the 19 year old student who stood up to the tanks in Tiananme square in 1989. Her courage is inspiring. What are they doing in Tibet anyhow? Massacring the innocent and peaceful who want nothing to do with them. But ake away free speech, and you take away the individual's right to think and act for themselves. I cant imagine a life like that. I have never met a Chinese American who said life was better in china, far from it.

[SAUDER33]

U know, u really shouldn't protest in HK. HK is part of China, and guess wt, 90% of the ppl r chinese in HK...key point... dun mess wif Chinese on Chinese soil...u r lucky the police surrounded u, otherwise, u will be in a body bag...dun believe me...y dun u do that again, ANYWHERE in HK...I'll cya in the news :D

[mod83]

You're an idiot.

Christina Chan is 100% Chinese.

Last time I checked, Hong Kong was a Special Administrative Region of China, not part of China.

Read a book.

Learn about the importance of free speech.

And google 'Universal Declaration of Human Rights'.

[dlobrown8888]

HK is a part of china but as one country two system and yes HK is relatively independant however, it is simply sovreignity protected.

[d1gps15]

@dlobrown8888 HetyWe need Hong Kong Freedom speech!! Should have to welcome every ppl hk citizen!!..

[LouisC89]

@mod83

I'm from HK. We are a part of China period.

[wolfteam000]

@mod83 SAR is also part of HK...

"No reporters in Tibet. Why the man said "come to CHina" Blindly speaking. "

i think he meant tourists not biased media

[neknil]

The Hong Kong people better stand up against acts like these before the end of freedom of speech comes creeping down the Hong Kong people's backs.

When they came to take Christina away,

I didn't speak up, because I wasn't her.

...

Then they came for me,

and by that time there was no one was left to speak up for me.

adapted from Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945

And to let that guy in the video know, I did go to China and see the pseudo-liberty that a percentage of the population experiences. For myself it was hard to not actively voice my views while in China and I couldn't wait to get back to Hong Kong to be able to get back on the internet and write freely online and visit uncensored media sites.

[neknil]

Sad really to see a demonstrator being scuttled off like that in Hong Kong.I hope that the Hong Kong people will really remember their views on China before 1997, with many people lining up at foreign embassies as well as trying to get BNO's. The Tibetans are merely living the similar experience except for no place to run and no where to voice their concerns. Hong Kong people were lucky in the fact that they could collaborate with the Chinese government through the British and get its SAR status

"Acting like a gangster which is a typical of the chinaman."

wow, that's serious case of stereo-typing. I mean, there are ppl as such ALL OVER THE WORLD :/

[muneu]

It seems the chinese does not understand freedom of speech. Acting like a gangster which is a typical of the chinaman.

[SAUDER33]

AND TO U, I dun see how civilized u r by stereotyping the Chinese.

[muneu]

Yeah..I did asked that question myself and it is deadlocked on the answer. How about you?

[Ganeschar]

no - they have to learn alot

[BuddhainRough]

No reporters in Tibet. Why the man said "come to CHina" Blindly speaking.
